Scalabrineformvp, please take a look at the conflict of interest guideline in case you're related to CEPR. Also do not attack other editors, discuss on content not on editors. Thanks and welcome again. JRSP (talk) 00:50, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Mark Weisbrot, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted by ClueBot.

Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
Cluebot produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Mark Weisbrot was changed by Scalabrineformvp (u) (t) deleting 14052 characters on 2010-02-09T16:56:01+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot (talk) 16:56, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not gratuitously remove content from Wikipedia, as you did to the Mark Weisbrot page. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:24, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Mark Weisbrot. Your edits have been automatically marked as unconstructive/possible vandalism and have been automatically reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you believe there has been a mistake and would like to report a false positive, please report it here and then remove this warning from your talk page. If your edit was not vandalism, please feel free to make your edit again after reporting it. The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Mark Weisbrot was changed by Scalabrineformvp (u) (t) deleting 13978 characters on 2010-02-10T20:55:47+00:00 . Thank you.

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Mark Weisbrot, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:58, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Mark Weisbrot. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:59, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours to prevent further disruption caused by your engagement in an edit war at Mark Weisbrot. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. NW (Talk) 02:51, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Z9

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

Scalabrineformvp (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Current guidelines allow the subject of a biography to make edits to his/her own page. All edits made by us were directed by Mark Weisbrot, but it appears users like SandyGeorgia are more interested in spreading false information about Weisbrot than being fair. A letter has been sent to the admin asking for this page to be deleted if this cannot be resolved.

Notes:

In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

All edits made by us were directed by Mark Weisbrot, but it appears users like SandyGeorgia are more interested in spreading false information about Weisbrot than being fair. A letter has been sent to the admin asking for this page to be deleted if this cannot be resolved.'' |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=''Current guidelines allow the subject of a biography to make edits to his/her own page.
